For the sake of info, the rtl8156 plugin "revived" my Sabrent USB 2.5gbit NIC. By "revived", I mean that I had stopped using it due to the fact that it was not being recognized by Unraid any longer. I did configure an MTU of 9000 but the transfers were fine at the default setting already.

I almost forgot about using that USB Nic until i found the plugin in the app section today. Working perfectly @ 2.5Gbit with the Sabrent USB Nic. Very big thank you.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. Looks like I am using driver v2.15.0 which is not even the latest one (2.16.1). Careful, I have not checked whether it's even officially compatible with kernel 5.15. Screenshots attached.

Hi, I got the same problem on RC5 with the RTL8156. BTW, on Manjaro Linux, I still have to install 5.15 kernel headers + realtek drivers for the USB NIC to work. DIagnostics + screenshot attached virtualnas-diagnostics-20220429-0144.zip

Hi, Working for me too 🙂

Hi, I just got a response from Realtek support implying that the new driver would work with kernel 5.8. Then again that's hypothetical for now since they still mention 5.6 @ Realtek download.

Hi, Same for me and also thanks for analyzing. Let's review that with Realtek support then and let's see what's coming. Oct 19 23:35:24 VirtualNas kernel: r8152 4-1:1.0: couldn't register the device Oct 19 23:35:24 VirtualNas kernel: r8152: probe of 4-1:1.0 failed with error -22 [edit] I can get the RTL8152 working with Archlinux @kernel 5.4. while 5.8 looks like to be a no-go indeed.

Count me in for a RTL8156 driver inclusion
